Abstract (en)

During the idling state, the number of times of injecting fuel per performance of the fuel delivery from a high-pressure fuel pump (47) is decreased or increased. If the number of times of injecting fuel per performance of the fuel delivery is decreased, the amount of fuel that needs to be delivered by one performance of the fuel delivery is reduced, so that the timing of starting to close an electromagnetic spill valve (54) can be delayed. Therefore, the lift of a plunger (48b) for 1 DEG rotation of a cam (22a) (i.e., cam speed) at the time of closure of the electromagnetic spill valve (54) decreases, so that the force applied from fuel to the electromagnetic spill valve (54) in the valve closing direction decreases. If the number of times of injecting fuel per performance of the fuel delivery is increased, the noises produced at the time of closure of the electromagnetic spill valve (54) increase because the timing of starting to close the spill valve (54) is advanced to increase the amount of fuel delivered by one performance of the fuel delivery. However, the number of times of closing the electromagnetic spill valve (54) during a predetermined period decreases, so that the number of occurrences of the valve closure noises decreases. <IMAGE>
